CYCLING EVENTS 2020
We organise:
CALENDAR EVENTS, which as the name suggests are run with support on a specific day, and
PERMANENT EVENTS, which may be ridden on any day without support
Between them there are event distances from 50km (30miles) to 300km (200miles) run at different minimum speeds to suit cyclists of all abilities.

After a gap of several years it is hoped that some New Forest Audax Events will return in 2020

Public transport to Lymington
Lymington Town railway station is very close to the events start and finish in the town centre. (Lymington Pier railway station is where the September IoW events start) There are earlier/ later and more frequent trains on the main line to Brockenhurst, which is about 10km from Lymington. Camping We recommend hurstview campsite, which is 3km from the events start and finish (5km from the ferry terminal). They have always been helpful, often fitting in AUK members at short notice. Bed and Breakfast B&B list Audax UK Events You are provided with a route sheet to follow (the route is not signed on the road), and a brevet card, which you should get stamped at various Controls (checkpoints) on your way round. There will be opportunities to feed at the Controls, and we will feed you at the end. Use whatever bike suits you. Mudguards are not required. 100km events have a minimum speed of 10kph, which will give you lots of time (all day) to finish. Longer events are harder. You should be an experienced cyclist with fitness and stamina. There is a minimum speed of 15kph for these events. Don't worry about the maximum speed of 30kph - you won't get near it. If you have ridden a 'Sportive' event and you want to try something a bit more challenging in terms of distance and self sufficiency, then an AUK event is for you - And the entry fees are much less too! Prepare your bike carefully for any of these events. Further information Audax UK CTC Wessex Cycling |
